FRENCH', PAPERS. (Pram the Journal de; _Debate of Tuesday.) FRANK Folur, AN. 5.----Several our merchants Lave received expresses from Berlin, with the positive news that the Grand Duke Nicholas was proclaimed Emperor of Russia, at St. Peters burgh, 25th Dec. This news caused the Russian Funds to' rist. at [feint'. Mom the _Maile if IVednesday.) STUTTGARDT, J.SN. G.—Official accounts state that a courier from Warsaw, who arrived at St. Petersburg!) on the .25th Dec., had brought thither the explanation (ep(4) of the motives in consequence of which H. M. the Emperor COll. stantine renounces the Throne. As soon as this declaratiou was known at St. Petersburgh, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas con voked the Directing Senate, and declared that be was ready to accept the Crown. The Senate, ia ' consequence, published a Proclamation, which .announces the accession of the Emperor Nicholas I. to the Throne. (From the Eioile of Wednesday.) Putts, J AK. 10,—We have received from St. Petersburg') most afflicting intelligence, It an swounces that on the 26th ult. the Manifesto of Nicholas I. was published. This document; which is remarkably well drawn up,details, with much perspicuity and historical precision, the renunciation of Constantine ; and the diplomatic acts by which it is attested, are affixed to it. On the 26th the regiments of the Guards were to take the oath ; the same day, at 11 o'clock in the morn ing, some of them stayed behind, although the greater part was already prepared. It was even known that the Moscow regiment interposed difficulties. Two companies of grenadiers of this regiment sallied from their barracks, ith their colours, and proclaimed Constantine the First. These men proceeded to the Sysare of Isaac, where they were soon joined by great numbers of the people, by the soldiers of the Body Gre nadier Regiment, and the Marines of the Guard. No other corps took part in the sedition, and it appears that the numbers of the factious did not exceed 2,000. Informed of these disorders, Gen. Miloradoviteh proceeded to the square to address the rebels. But at that moment a man in plain clothes fired a pistol-shot at him, of which he died some hours afterwards. The Etnporor himself appeared without arms, and attempted to reclaim the mutineers, but without success. In the end, after having exhausted allgentle means, after hay , leg in vain explained the circumstance of the re nunciation of Constantine—he was forced to order his troops and artillery to advance. The rebels having formed themselves into a square, bud the audacity to fire first, but were soon dispersed, and pursued in all directions. The number killed h; said to amount to 200. At six o'clock order wits re-established, the troops remained faithful and the greater portion of them bivouacked all night round the Palace. The Grand Duke Michael, who arrived in St. Petersburgh at the moment of the tumult, has succeeded in reclaiming six Companies of the Moscow regiment, who took no part in the re volt, but who refused to take the oath of fidelity, ~and he led them to the assistance of his brother. Generals Fredericks and Schenschin are wound ed. The Emperor, who, throughout the day, displayed the most noble traits of character, re viewed the troops on the following day in garrison. The Marines of the Guards manifested the most sincere repentance, and obtained their pardon : many Officers have been arrested. .During four hours, which were occupied in par laying with the troops, before it was determined to employ force, the number of the rebels was not greatly augmented ; and it is very probable that the greater part were inure misled than guilty.

DUEL.—A meeting took place in the field be tween the Regent's Canal and Chalk Farm early .yesterday morning, between B. Au—s—st, u Medical Student, and Mr. Mt -I.—L, a half-pay Officer of the Navy. The dispute originated ~about one of the fair frail, who lodged informs. tioil against, her rival lovers, but too late. The parties fired to lee and in the second lire Mr. M. was wounded in the side, hut not seriously, and the affair ended. They were afterwards good friends,and took lunch together with their seconds at IJumpstead. DRATJI i,v Pktsom.—Yesterday, morning, as .the gaoler of. the New Prison, Clerken w ell, open. ed the room in which the prisoners who are com mitted for short periods are confined, be observed one of them, of the name of Date, lying on the ground, whom he desired to rise, but having no answer returned, lie went up to him, and on touching him he found the poor fellow was quite dead. From the statement of his two fellow. Trisoners it eppeared that Dale rolled out of bed about a quarter past three o'clocklin the morning, but slot hearing him complain of anything, they thought that he lied fallen out In turning in bed, and going soon after to sle e p, th e y never Mi sse d him. The deceased, who wets a pauper in St. Grorge'e workhouse, Mount-street, was on Tues day brought before Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, at M.triborough.street, by Mr. Grist, the assist - SW overseer, for using abusive language to Mrs. Nash, the head nurse at the workhouse, of such uu offensive description that we cannot state it, when in consequence of his having been brought up for the same offence two or three times be ore, Mr. Conant committed him for twenty-one slays. He was then in good health. On neiug taken to the cell, previous to his removal, he egain used tome very bad language to the gaoler. Pepper v on taking him down in the even. jog into the prison, taw no difference In his ap ce, and he then said, "Tepper, how long am I for ?" The .gaoler' replied, twentyone days. "Oh," t•eid he, "l have only a short time to soy before lam bark." Upon further inqui. saes, it appeared the'deeeased was at times sub ject ta,611, but they were never thought to be of a dangerout nature, tied from a surgical exartana stion since his death, it appeared that he was seised with one when he rolled out of bed, which terminated in his death.

It is almost unnecessary to remark to our readers that the ordinary mode of forming surnames in Russia, is to add to the name of the father WITS for a sun, and WONA, or OFNA, for a daughter. A piece of information, which, if true, may lead to important results, is given in letters re ceived yesterday from Constantinople, dated December 10. It is affirmed that three Turkish Grandees, two of whom hold state offices, were on the point of setting out for the Nlorea, for the purpose of entering into an accommodation with the Greeks, and that they were invested with full powers to bring the negotiation to a conclu sion. The stop on the part of the Sultan is Sup. posed to have been dictated by his jealousy of the Pacha of Egypt, end the apprehension, should that enterprising Chief succeed in the conquest of the Mores, of which there was every prospect, he would retain it in his own hands, and declare its independence of the Porte. This was only to be prevented by coming to an understanding with the Greeks before it was too lain. Another construction of the measure is, that it has been brought about through the interference of some of the European Powers, known to be anxious to bring the contest with the Greeks to a terming. tion ; but this is rendered less probable by the consideration that the Sultan has uniformly re sisted such interference, even when his cause was in a difficult, if not in a desperate situation, and that he is fur less likely to submit to foreign die tution, now that the fortune of the Greeks has sunk to so lo►► an ebb. last, to our informa tion from Gibraltar, to the spirited conduct of General Don, the Governor, and Sir JOHN PUILLIMORE, commander of his Majesty's ship nets's, in rescuing from the rapacity of the Spa niards some British vessels wrecked on the lines during the late storm. It is stated in letters from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, received yes terday, and dated the 224 ult., that another English vessel, the Lady Hamilton, with a valu able cargo from Naples, bound to London, tlad struck on some rocks near Torre Carbonera, on the Spanish shore, about six miles from Gibral tar, on the night of the 19th, and had become a complete wreck. The Captain was preparing to save as much of the cargo, which principally con- Listed of silk, ns was possible ; but the Spanish marine and custom-house officers near the spot had collected, and insisted that the whole of the cargo should be landed there, to go through the usual forms as in the case of regular entry. The Agent to Lloyd's, on behalf of the owners, pro tested against this step ; and on his return to Gibraltar had an •interview with the Governor and Sir JOHN PHILLIMORE, in consequence of which he had prepared a memorial on the sub ject, which was under consideration at the date of his letter. Sir JOHN Pm LLIMOILE arrived at Gibraltar, from Naples in the Thetis only on the I th ult.---( Times.)

LAW INTELLEGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 12. (Before the Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT and a Common Jaky.) JOSEPH li:WAT.TOM. This waN an action brought by .the plaintif, Mr. Joseph, who'keeps the Imperial Hotel at Cheltenham, against the de fendant, Mrs. Walton, a lady residing in. Gower-street, Bed fonl-square, for the purpose of recovering a sum of 421. I Is. ttd, being the amount of various articles supplied to her son, Mr. John Walton, a minor, during his stay at Cheltenhnn. The defendant pleaded that she was not liable, and thereupon issue was joined. " • The circumstances which gave rise to this action appeared from the evidence to be of the following nature. In Novem ber, 1823, the eon of thedefendnnt, then only 19 years of age, resided for some time at the plaintiff's hotel in Cheltenham.— A few days before he was ping to leave it, he delivered to the plaintiff a letter from his mother, wherein she desired the - plaintiff to send her the amount of her son's bill, which she promised to pay into the hands of any bankers which he might appoint in London. As the defendant in that letter gave sa tisfactory references for her responsibility to a person living in Cheltenham, the plaintiff did not send in his bill to her until his brother, Mr. i ellen Joseph, whom he commissioned to receive it, had occasion to go to London. Mr. Mitchell Joseph called on the defendant in Gower-street, who, after a short conversation with her son, discharged that bill by a check on her banker. As he was leaving the room, the defendant's son followed him, and said to him in the door-way, and as the witness believed in the hearing of his mo t h er " Good day, Sir, I shall soon see you at your brother's house in Cheltenham." On the 23d of May in the next year, the young man went down to Chel tenham with Mr. Beaumont, a Member of Parliament, and drove up to the plaintiff's hotel in a carriage and four. lie remained there for six weeks, and niight have remained there much longer, had not the plaintiff in the month of July re ceived a letter from defendant's mother, stating that she had learned that her son was staying at his hotel in Cheltenham— that he was there against her will, and that she would not be responsible for any debts that he might contract. At the time this letter reached the plaintiff; the defendant's son had con tracted at his house a bill of 421. 1 ls. lid., which was made up of a charge for board and lodgings for six weeks, at 31. a week, and several items for dinners, with champagne and . claret, which the young man had given to his friends. The plaintiff sent in this bill to the defendant; and in consequence of her refusing to pay it, brought the present action. Mr. ScantETT, for the plaintiff, contended, that the de fendant was liable to pay this bill, ai she must have been aware that her son was living at the plaintiff'. house at Cheltenham beffire she wrote her last letter to the plaintiff: He likewise urged that there was an implied contract on her part to pay any hills which her son might contract at the plaintiff's house dur ing the minority, in the conversation which she had held with the defendant's broths: in Gower-street, when she paid the first bill. Mr. G RIMY, for the defendant, denied the existence of any such implied contract as that upon which the plaintiff's counsel insisted, and contended, that if tradesmen would give young men, of the tender age of the defendant's son, credit for duck luxurious articles as those in which it had appeared that he had indulged, it must be at their own risk, and not at the expence of their friends anti guardians. The Loon CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up the case to the jury, left it for them to say whether the defendant's son had or bad not gone to the plaintiff's hotel at Cheltenham without the knowledge of his mother. If. they should he of opinion that he had gone there without her knowledge, they would find a ver dict for the defendant ; but if they should be of a contrary opi nion, then they would find a verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as would cover the reasonable expellees of a young stuhreyleetteutrldnaanit. a Tonhe of j man moving in the ran k an d station of life which belonged to a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 211. A KIDNAPPED CHILD. About a week since two fetnates and 'a mats, with a donkey and female infant, came to the house of Mrs. Barnett, of No. 6, George -yard, Whitechapel, where they took lodgings. During their continuance there, from certain expres sions tliey let fall, and their general conduct towards the baby, which did not partake of that parental tenderness which is lieu:illy evinced toward* a persons own child, she suspected that the claims of affinity they laid to it were entirely fictitious, and that it had been kidnapped from some unhappy family, who were now deploring its loss, Her mind in consequence became uneasy, and to set her doubts at rest, and develope the mystery, she communicated the circumstances to Good win, one of the Bow -street putrol, who, in order to arrive at the truth, took the parties into custody, and brought them before M. WYATT, Esq. the presiding Magistrate at Lambeth-street-office ; the child was also in attendance, and is a genteel delicate -looking baby of about 21 years old, with fair hair, anti complexion, and full blue eyes. She was in an extremely filthy state, but yet there was an air of respectabi lity about leer which ill accorded with her reputed parentage. The prisoners, on being placed at the bar, gave their names Arthur French, Mary (supposed to be his wife), and Cathe rine Stephens. The evidence adduced against them was then taken, and was as follows ; Alm. Ann Barnett examined-_.I live at No. 6, George -yard, Virbitechapel. About a week since the prisoners, bringing with them a child, and also- havin g a donkey, took lot' igin F gs at my house. rom the conversations they held, I suspected the child did not belong to them. The male prisoner, Arthur French, used frequently to say, " though th ere i s not a drop of our blood in its body, I behave as well to it as if it was my own." These expressions, combined with other extraordinary circumstances in the conduct of the entire three, made me imagine that the infant bore no relationship to the priioners, and that it had been kidnapped; in consequence of these suppositions I gave infor mation to Goodwin, the officer, who took them into custody. When this witne ss h a d conc l u d e d h er testimony, 3lr. NVyatt directed that the p r i soners s h ou ld b e removed, and called in separately to ac count f or the possession of the i n f ant, and ex plain the mystery of their conversation. The precautions, as may be seen by the sequel, was by no means unnecessary ; and the first person 'ereamtned was the pri soner Mary French, who said that the child was her own, and was two years add three months old. The husband was next called, and he stated that he had been married in Buckinghamshire two years last August, by Dr. Good, and had .5 children. Mr. WYATT—This is very extraordinar :you say that you have been on ly two years and a half married, and yet you add that you h ave had 11 children. French ( a f ter some h es i t ation)—That was my first wife ; I was married to my present, who is outside, 4 years last August. in Dublin. That little child there is my niece, and was born in Dublin 2 years anti-3 months ego; my sister-in-law is its mother. %%lien her husband ran away on my coming from Ireland the 26th of August last, 1: took both of them under my care. I never said that the child had been kidnapped. This prisoner was ordered to withdraw, and the female, Ca therine Stephens, was called in •and examined.—She said that her husband was a Smith, and lived in New-street, Dublin, He ran away from her about 10 years since his name was Arthur Ward. She had borne no children since his desertion, but had reared the present baby since it was three days old. It was left a chapel door at the rear of Newgate, in Green-street, Dublin. She had it christened in Francis-street chapel, and gave it the name of Kitty Stephens. It is about two years and four months old. As will be pereefied, the aboVe evidence was so extremely contradictory and suspicious, that to reconcile it if possible, and arrive at some some satisfactory explanation; Mr. Wyatt direct ed that the prisoners should be confronted. French and his wife were accordingly recalled, when the latter persisted in asserting that .the cliild was her's, and said that it was born in Marylebone-street, Liverpool, two years. and three months ago, where it was christened by the name of Kitty French-- She has borne five children to her husband, all of whom were dead except the present, and he was not its father, but that it had been begotten in his absence. French, in reply to this,' denied his wife's having any claim to it was an illegitimate child of his own; Stephens steadily maintained having found it in the manner above described. Anti the Ma istrate, after reviewing th e i r diff erent accounts, observed that from their contradictory nature, there was little doubt of the child's having come improperly into their pos. session, and under this view of the case he th oug h t i t hi s duty to remand them for further examined until Saturday next, when he hoped publicity it would ob ta i n , t h e c hi ld ' s parents anti would come for war d to esta b lish their would that, be from discovered,lthe relationship. Ile then gave directions that the child should be removed to the parish workhouse, and there be taken care of.

A Berlin Journal of the sth instant, reive in town this morning, contains a Copy oft e Manifesto, issued by the Emperor NtsuotAst °3 his acceptance of the Throne of Russia. 1118 Document, which bears date Dec. 12, 1825 (0.5.), is of such length as to preclude us CO"' giving more th an a conc i se summary of its con' tents. After an exordium, expressing the deep ati 4 universal regret excited ttnoughout the EinPi'L e by the death of his brother, ALEXANDER, it i° stated, that on the arrival of the melauciolf tidings at St. Petersburg!) on the 4 27th None'''' her (01d Style), the EMPEROR felt it an imm" diate duty to swear allegiance toll's brother CO's STANTINE the natural heir to the Crown. nu t I ' l a very short period after he had thui take" th e oath, it was announced to th e Estrella)), t h a t ay. of the Counsellors of State bad in his P °6- session, a sealed document which bud be'l confided to him by his late brother ALiczesp rit. The manifesto then gives in detail, several " cu. merits immediately connected with the renunciati°3 of the Crown of CortsTA :STINE previous to the of ALEXANDER, and the subsequent resignst iol) since his death, together with a series of letters be ' tween NICHOLAS and CONSTANTINE, and the V a. press Mother. The first dorument,—the nunciation of the Throne by Costs-retro:a dated January Li, 1822. The second ( W I. meat, appoints the Grand Duke NicitoLAl the successor to the Throne of Russia, on th ° demise of ALEXANDER. Neither in these ( 1 "`" ments,norinthe correspondence,is theirthesligh o indication of disagreement —the whole manife.t ing an entire harmony of opinion in the kir' vial Family. There is no hint of any (Miro" berment of the empire, as a provision for Co„' STANTINE as King of Poland--a dignity for whi ch no inclination i s suppose d to ex i st In the min d O f that Prince. in conclusion, the Emperor NICHOLAS p ro.. fosses his determination to tread in the step' c ' t ALEXANDER, And pursu e th e li ne o f r c:lf l i adopted by hi s l amented predecessor. Such, ;IL substance, is th e i mportant paper, by w hi c h 3 1 1 doubt as t o th e i n di vidual by whom the throne a Russia is fill e d , h as been dispelled. - From all that appears on the face of what is thus addres se d to t h e great Western Family orf Europe, the renunciation and final abdicatio ° that Throne to which CONSTANTISR is the las" ful heir, has been voluntary -- of his ow free will.
